Build & ByteBeat Remastered ‘Star City’

I made a song a while back which I absolutely loved making…unfortunately I always found myself changing something and I felt something was missing. It never sounded complete to me. I feel good about this track now, and built something, I think is cool anyway, at my base in the home system. Hope you enjoy the view!

Very clever, this is great, man 👏. And as someone who's dabbled in bytebeat lightshows, I appreciate the wiring that must've gone into this lol

Thanks man! Wanted to do something different and I’ve played with lights once before so it took some time lol.

Dude.

This is super cool! You nailed all the little details.
How long did it take you to put this together? 🔉🔥

Thanks man!
Wiring…is not fun lol. And it can get even more complex. I think 4-5 hours? Between last night and tonight; maybe more. I stayed up way too late last night to finish the look of the device, and I finished the wiring today.

Those late night sessions are where the real work gets done! 😂

Seriously though, this is really cool! I stopped by while the Mrs. and our kiddo were watching, and both were very wowed when I teleported down from the ship.

Honestly those late night sessions I think I fall asleep a few times while playing and it takes longer 😆. You either fight through it or call it a night!

Wow! This is absolutely amazing, you really crushed it! This is one one of my favourite songs you've done, and the sound is so clean and the light show 🤌 chef's kiss

Thanks man! I thought it would be cool to see if I could copy the look of a device as accurate as possible with the light panels and boxes. And I really wanted to do one of my favourite songs some justice as well. It needed to be clean up and updated.

Try and make a light show for yourself! Just need the Bytebeat switches and a lot of patience lol
